Stansted security queues today after Ryanair staff shortage warning?

[Saddaughter999]

Flying from Stansted tomorrow and I've just had a message in the Ryanair app saying there are staff shortages at security and to allow extra time.
Has anyone flown from Stansted today? What's the situation actually like? I've never had a message like this before. I'm travelling with my SEN child, so I'm a bit worried about long queues and whether we should get there even earlier than planned.
Any recent experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I had a message like that when in Spain and flying home.

turned up an hour early, plenty of staff and airport deserted. (Early am flight)

I paid for fast track, but not from Stansted. Don't know if it will be any quicker, but I'm giving it a go on this, the busiest weekend of the year in Europe anyway! Can you get any priority for SEN or book assistance maybe?

Pick up a sunflower lanyard from assistance for your child. They recognise it there and will take you out of the long queue if necessary. Hope it's not too bad.

Flew with Ryanair out of Stansted about 10 days ago (and back a week later) had same message so we went early and had no issue (straight through).
Then while away had a message to allow extra time returning due to new eu checks (they're was no issue and we were sat 1.5 hours after we got through security.

Thank you everyone, we always using sunflower lanyard, however, never booked special assistance.
